Finished: 5 Scalloped Hot Pads

Wow, I had way too much fun making these. They became addicting and I am became obsessed. I definitely will be making more of these in the future. I want to thank Adrian and Maritza for starting this Swap because I never thought about making hot pads and potholders. Thank you for opening up a whole new world to me. :-)

The pattern has you make 2 sides and then they are single crocheted together. The wool ones are 6.5 inches and the cotton ones are slightly wider. For yarn info on each of these hot pads, please visit my blog to see the blog post on them. The pattern link is here.

I love them! I think making two sides and single crocheting together is a good solution to making them truly heatproof; not that anyone is going to actually use them.... I bet we will all hang them in the kitchen with pride and tell the family "don't touch!!"
